Hi! :) I wandered over and really like your templates.

To start trying them out I started playing with

Sweet Samurai 's profile with v.1. It works nicely, but I thought I'd see how one of the others looked. I tried the same with v.3, just putting in the same background image and it turned out just a regular pet page with everything in text?

I'm curious about that, but I also kinda like it like this. The most trouble I had was actually trying to find an image url. I have plenty of jpg's but I don't know how to have a url of them?

Anywho, thank you for the base! ^_^

@ skydreamer hello there!! I am very happy to hear you like them (:

I tested the code for v3 out on

Misha and it works! What may be causing your problem is if you omitted one of the quotation marks around the image url.

So it would look like this: background-image: url("https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011300/a011327/GJ504_Stars.jpg);

rather than this: background-image: url("https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a011300/a011327/GJ504_Stars.jpg");

You actually don't need those quotation marks! (I will probably remove them from the base code now that this has come to my attention, since it will probably be a common issue!) You can either omit them completely, or have one on the left side and one on the right, but if you have one without the other it will break the code!

As for finding urls for images, if you are trying to get a url from an image you see online, what I usually do is right click an image, then select "copy image address." That should leave you with the url (:

If you are trying to get a url for an image you have locally on your computer (in your desktop/documents/etc), I would upload the image to a hosting site like imgur. For imgur, you can click the downward facing arrow to the right of your uploaded image, then click "get share links." It'll open up a 'share options' window. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the "share link" doesn't work, so I choose the "bbCode (Forums)" link, which looks like this:

Then, to put it as a profile background, I just paste it where it should go but remove the surrounding tags.

Let me know if you have any more questions :`)

[edit]

ahh thank you so much for the kind words!! I'm happy to hear that :)

I've used the template to fix up [pet not found]'s page and I am SOOO happy with the result! Thank you, again, for making these profiles. You've inspired me to work on my pets again, which I had stopped doing for a long time. ^^

Is there a way to center the pet friend? Since she only has one, I think it would look nicer. xD

(I'm also going to be using it on a bunch of my other pets, just so you know~! :) )

@/Potion What a lovely message!! I am incredibly happy that I could play a part in you regaining inspiration for your pets, so thank you for sharing that with me, it really makes me feel great! <3 Such a great story on Andromida; I peeked at a few of your other pets as well and I'm excited to see what else you do in the future (:

Try this code for centering Celesta in her pet friends (warning that this code may not work for centering more than one pet, though!)

Navigate to this part in her code (it is near the bottom): .friend_div { margin: 8px 9px!important; }

Replace that with this: .friend_div { float: none; margin: 10px auto!important; }

It should work - I tested the changes live at

Asher!

If you would like to change the amount of white space below the friend, you can increase it like so: margin: 20px auto!important; (or use any number greater 10). You can also decrease it to 0 (or even negative).

Let me know if you have any questions (:

Thank you so much, and thank you for the compliments blush! I've been very critical of my writing lately, you have no idea how much it means. <3 I have so many ideas for my pets, it's just hard to translate them from my mind onto ...uh..."paper"? xD

The code worked and looks so much better. (I don't plan on giving her anymore friends, hence my question).

I know you worked hard on these templates to make them for people, and you're so very kindly sharing them, it's the least I can do. I can't thank you enough. ^^

So I used your awesome glass profile for my pet Apple White and was wondering (since I played with it a LOT and used the credit section for something else) if it was possible to get my new credits section to go under the treasure chest?

Watch for that moment... and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap.

These are really nice. One question, is there a way to add stats?

Thank you so much for making these! All my old profiles broke, and I had just about given up until I found this board. Honestly these look so much better than anything I ever came up with - love how clean and elegant they look!

One quick question if you wouldn't mind: I used the glass template on my pet Ramon, and I was wondering if there was a way to put in the "nominate for pet spotlight" link? Whenever I attempt to put it in, I just get this gray box next to my pet image.

Thanks again!

You do have him turned on for spotlight right? Which one did you use? Original, Minimal, or Floating? I may be able to help since I played with this code a LOT for Apple White.

Omg, I'm such an idiot, haha. I had totally forgotten that pets need to be turned on for spotlight - I guess this is what happens when I'm away for a bit, lol. Thank you so much!!

Random question... If someone wanted to have the food eaten/ books read shown on the pet profile (as it's regular link or the items shown?), how would they go about doing that? :/ I'm stumped.

In case this is driving anyone else crazy, 98% aligns correctly with the other boxes, while 97% is just a hair short.
